Remarkable Music

A little over a year ago, I decided to attend a viewing of a documentary entitled 'Call + Response'.

This documentary was fascinating, as not only did it uncover a thriving world of slavery and human trafficking that goes unnoticed by many across all continents, but it advocated action through the talents of critically acclaimed music artists. Music is a wonderful way to make people listen and hear a message, and this is exactly what the film did.

A particular artist who was featured I found extremely interesting. Matisyahu is a Jewish Reggae singer, and after watching his segment in the film, I looked him up, then bought some of his songs.

He is the only, truly unique artist I have come across, whose music spreads valuable messages and stories. It is music truly worthwhile, unlike a lot of music in today's industry. Also, though it may sound strange, the music gives me this overwhelming feeling of happiness every time I listen to it. The wisdom of the messages and beautifully composed lyrics in every song, are a credit to Matisyahu's talent as an artist.
